2011 Map of East Camden

About this map

The Locust Bayou Oil Field serves as a central industrial anchor in this southern Arkansas landscape, where the petroleum economy meets the complex hydrology of the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Scattered settlements like East Camden, Lakeside, and Locust Bayou are connected by a network of rural routes, including HWY 274 and County HWY-2, which navigate around extensive wetlands and water bodies. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Two Bayou, Dogwood Creek, and the Locust Bayou waterway, which drain toward the south into Big Johnson Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the inclusion of Furr Cemetery and Plunkett Cemetery provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in Ouachita County. The map also highlights the importance of timber and natural resources in the region, evidenced by labels such as Potlatch Rd, reflecting the intersection of industrial land use and the natural environment.
